When I was at Allan Gardens, mayoral candidate: Baquie Ghazi gave me some of his lit. not knowing I too am a candidate. So I know something about his campaign of social justice…

As for Mr. State and his image, you could describe him as 67. I heard him groan at the meeting when I joked about being the mayor with hair.(chuckle)

We here at All Fired Up in the Big Smoke are a little confused, even more so than usual.

Did you mean to say that Hole is releasing their first CD in 12 years or that they will be releasing a CD sometime in 2022? If the latter, is there a way to pre-order it that far in advance?

Moreover, CD? Do you mean those round plastic thingies with the hole (no pun intended) in the middle and you had to insert them into one of them thar big eatin’ machines with all them buttons and lights on `em? How quaint.

I was reading the Metro and found that Jeff Beck is releasing a new CD. In other news from the t.o.night; the band Hole is releasing a new CD in 12 years.

I ran into Susan at the Allan Gardens rally & march and she mentioned this article…

Thank you for the names and head count. We here at All Fired Up in the Big Smoke are simply dreadful at remembering either.

We never meant to suggest that the candidates didn’t offer up good points during the course of the evening. It was just our opinion that the ratio between good points and time taken to express them was not wide as it should have been. Wide? Is that right? Can a ratio be wide? More points that hadn’t already been made and less time making them is what we’re trying to get at.

We don’t think it is an either/or situation between candidates and average joes. Candidates will only address the issue if they feel there is serious momentum behind it and the only way to generate momentum is by bringing the issue to the public in the form like these town hall meetings that the people at Better Ballots are hosting. It is early days yet and not all candidates are as willing to give their time to relatively low publicity issues as you, Mssrs. State and Vallance and Ms. Gapka appear to be.

It wasn’t the reading material so much as the slow, rhythmic motion of the subway car that… oh, never mind. We here at All Fired Up in the Big Smoke duly note the spelling errors and are off to correct them forthwith!

Thank you.
